La Paz County, not Quartzsite
La Paz County context, not Quartzsite figures
These are La Paz County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Quartzsite measurements.
- Establishments in La Paz County352
- Employment at those establishments, La Paz County4,056
- Covered employment, La Paz County6,359
- Average annual pay, La Paz County$51,608
- Average weekly wage, La Paz County$992
- Housing units permitted, La Paz County92
- Of those, single family, La Paz County92
- County product, 2024, La Paz County$848,506,000
- County product change over the prior year, La Paz County1.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, La Paz County$60,197
Every figure in this section is published for La Paz County as a whole and is not a measurement of Quartzsite. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- The American Community Survey does not publish a median household income for this place, which happens where the sample is too small to support one.
- No median owner-occupied home value is published for this place.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.
Common questions

La Paz County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
How much SBA lending goes to Quartzsite businesses?
4 7(a) approvals totalling $8.1 m, across 3 lenders, median approval $2,250,000, plus 1 504 approvals worth $1.1 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Quartzsite, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Quartzsite borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Quartzsite. only 1 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Is Quartzsite in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Quartzsite appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 040134, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Quartzsite figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for La Paz County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Quartzsite.
Is zoning published for Quartzsite?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
